UK Government Funds NGO That Works to Undermine Israel's Rights
Regavim movement 13.08.2021
According to NGO Monitor, the UK government has given almost $13 million to the NRC - Norwegian Refugee Council, an NGO that works tirelessly to undermine Israel’s legal rights in Judea and Samaria.
As part of the Battle for Area C, the Palestinian Authority is coordinating a legal campaign against the State of Israel.
It's a pattern- the PA creates facts on the grounds, building without permits on lands under Israeli jurisdiction, and then drags out and exploits the Israeli legal process to prevent demolition orders from being executed.
But in order to wage a legal battle, you need money and resources. That’s where NGOs such as the NRC come in. Under the guise of “humanitarian aid” and “commitment to the peace process”, these NGOs provide legal counseling and assistance to Palestinians that are squatting on Israeli state lands, in defiance of international law and the Oslo Accords.
Three months after NGO Monitor made Freedom of Information inquiries, the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) refused to disclose information about aid to the NRC. According to the FCDO, “the disclosure of this information would potentially damage our international relationships”.
However, the NRC itself and the UN have admitted that the FCDO has generously funded the NRC over the last decade.
Essentially, these funds are modern-day colonialism in Israel’s ancestral homeland.
